A CHRISTMAS tree farm at Langford Budville is on the hunt for a seasonal helper to take up residence in its festive shop in the run up to Christmas.

Langford Lakes Christmas Tree Farm at Middle Hill Farm is looking for someone with a jolly personality and a red suit.

Reg Hendy, owner of Langford Lakes, which has starred on the BBC’s ‘The One Show’ programme, said: “At this time of year an important vacancy always crops up so we’re looking for that special someone to step up and help us entertain our visitors both young and old in the run up to Christmas.

“We’re looking for someone who is friendly and full of character, as well as being great when meeting new people. The chosen candidate will be here for our launch day on Saturday, November 19, and every weekend in December alongside our other festive helpers to make the season extra special for all our visitors who come here to choose their fresh, traditional cut trees.”

Anyone who would like to apply for the position should call the Langford Lakes Christmas Tree Farm on 01823 400476 or email [email protected]. The deadline for enquires is October 7.

Reg added: “We would love to hear from anyone who has the time and character to fulfil this very important position. A red suit and white beard will be provided if the applicant doesn’t have their own suitable attire for the role.”
